A conducting sphere with neutral charge is connected to the ground. A positively charged rod is moved near the sphere. While the

rod is near the sphere, the ground is disconnected. The rod is then moved away. What is the charge on the sphere?

B) Positive
C) Neutral
D) Uncharged

Answer:

A negative

when the charged rod is brought closer to the sphere negative charges get induced on the surface of the sphere by gathering some electrons from the ground and the negative charges reamain on the sphere even after disconnecting it. here the ground acts as a reservoir of electrons.

A basketball has a mass of 1 kg and is traveling 12 m/s
cricket20 [7]

A) It would be doubled.

Why?

To answer the question, we just need to calculate the momentum of the basketball using the following formula:

Momentum=mass*velocity\\\\Momenum=1kg*12\frac{m}{s}=12\frac{kg.m}{s}

Now, we have calculated the momentum and the result is 12 kg.m/s, what would happen to the velocity if we double the momentum? Let's calculate it!

Momentum=mass*velocity\\\\(2)*12\frac{kg.m}{s}=1kg*velocity\\\\velocity=\frac{24\frac{kg.m}{s} }{1kg} =24\frac{s}{s}

Hence, we can see that if the momentum is doubled, the velocity will be doubled too.

Have a nice day!

Determine the wavelengths for Potassium (violet, λ = 400 nm) and Strontium (red, λ = 700 nm) light emissions. Calculate the freq
TEA [102]

Answer:

For Potassium:

Frequency = 7.5 x 10¹⁴ Hz; E (energy) = 8.83 x 10⁻²¹ J

For Strontium:

Frequency = 4.3 x 0¹⁴ Hz

E (energy) = 2.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Wavelength is represented by λ, and Frequency is represented by ν .

E (energy) = hν = hc/λ,  where ν = frequency; c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s; 1 s-1 = 1 Hz

h = planck's constant = 6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s; 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

1. Potassium λ (wavelength) = 400 nm, Frequency, ν  is given by :

ν = c/λ = (3 x 10⁸  m/s) / 400 nm

  = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 400 x 10⁻⁹ s-1

  = 0.0075 x 10¹⁷s-1

  = 7.5 x 10¹⁴  s-1

Frequency = 7.5 x 10¹⁴ Hz

E (energy) = hν = (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s) x (7.5 x 10¹⁴s-1)

E (energy) = 8.83 x 10⁻²¹ J

2. Strontium λ (wavelength) = 700 nm ,Frequency, ν  is given by :

ν = c/λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 700 nm

  = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 700 x 10⁻⁹s-1

  = 0.00428571428 x 10¹⁷s-1

  = 4.3 x 10¹⁴ s-1

Frequency = 4.3 x 0¹⁴ Hz

E (energy) = hν = (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s) x (4.3 x 0¹⁴s-1)

E (energy) = 2.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

A boy throws a snowball straight up in the air with an initial speed of 4.50 ft/s from a position 4.00 ft above the ground. The
IgorC [24]

Answer:

a) 0.658 seconds

b) 0.96 inches

Explanation:

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=4.5-32.1\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-4.5}{-32.1}=t\\\Rightarrow t=0.14 \s

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 0.14 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.5\times 0.14+\frac{1}{2}\times -32.1\times 0.14^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.315\ ft

The highest point reached by the snowball above its release point is 0.315 ft

Total height the snowball will fall is 4+0.315 = 4.315 ft

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 4.315=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 32.1\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{4.315\times 2}{32.1}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.518\ s

The snowball will reach the bank at 0.14+0.518 = 0.658 seconds after it has been thrown

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+32.1\times 0.518\\\Rightarrow v=16.62\ ft/s

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-16.62^2}{2\times -100\times 3.28}\\\Rightarrow s=0.42\ ft

The snowball goes 0.5-0.42 = 0.08 ft = 0.96 inches
